Louisiana has a liberal red snapper season that doesn't comply with federal regulations, but that doesn't mean state enforcement agents won't bust you for harvesting the fish illegally in federal waters.

Acting under a joint enforcement agreement with the feds, agents say they busted six men Tuesday harvesting snapper in federal waters 13 miles off the coast of Plaquemines Parish.

Agents say the men had 10 red snapper aboard their vessel. All of the fish were seized and donated to a local charity, the department said in a news release.

Under current regulations, Louisiana anglers may harvest two red snapper per person per day in waters out to nine nautical miles. Waters past that, out to 200 miles, are managed by the federal government.
